FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 21, 2003

Trustmark Announces 12.2% Increase in Third Quarter Earnings Per Share
                 Return on Average Equity exceeds 19%;
               Board Increases Quarterly Dividend 15.2%

Jackson, Miss. - Trustmark Corporation  (NASDAQ:TRMK)  announced basic
and diluted earnings per share of $0.55 for the third quarter of 2003,
which  represents  a 12.2%  increase  compared  to $0.49 for the third
quarter  of 2002.  Net income  for the third  quarter of 2003  totaled
$32.4 million. Trustmark's performance for the quarter ended September
30, 2003, resulted in a return on average assets of 1.71% and a return
on average shareholders' equity of 19.03%.

Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
were $1.49, compared to $1.47 for 2002. Trustmark's performance during
the first nine months of 2003  resulted in a return on average  assets
of 1.61%  and a return on  average  shareholders'  equity  of  17.58%.
Earnings during the first quarter of 2003 included an after-tax charge
of $0.07 per  share  associated  with the  Company's  Voluntary  Early
Retirement  Program.  At September 30, 2003,  Trustmark reported total
loans of $5.0 billion, total assets of $7.6 billion, total deposits of
$5.0 billion and shareholders' equity of $682 million.

Richard  G.  Hickson,  Chairman  and  CEO,  stated,  "Our  success  in
providing  banking and  financial  solutions is reflected in our third
quarter  financial  performance.  Our return on average  shareholders'
equity exceeded 19%, the highest level in Trustmark's history.  During
the quarter,  we entered the dynamic  Destin and Panama City,  Florida
markets with our purchase of seven branches with loans and deposits of
approximately  $224  million  and  $209  million,   respectively.  The
demographics  of  the  Florida  panhandle   represent  an  outstanding
opportunity  for  Trustmark  to generate  additional  loan and deposit
growth in areas in which it does not presently  have a leading  market
share.  These  markets  also  afford us an  excellent  opportunity  to
provide investment and risk management solutions."

The Board of  Directors  of  Trustmark  Corporation  announced a 15.2%
increase  in its  regular  quarterly  dividend to $0.19 per share from
$0.165 per share.  The Board declared the dividend payable on December
15 to the  shareholders  of record as of December 1, 2003. This action
raises  the  indicated  annual  dividend  rate to $0.76 per share from
$0.66 per share.

During  the  first  nine   months  of  2003,   Trustmark   repurchased
approximately  2.1 million  shares of its common stock,  including 513
thousand  in  the  third  quarter.  At  September  30,  Trustmark  had
authorization  to repurchase up to an additional  3.8 million  shares.
The repurchase  program is subject to market conditions and management
discretion  and will  continue to be  implemented  through open market
purchases or privately negotiated transactions.

Trustmark  Corporation  is  a  financial  services  company  providing
banking,  investment and risk  management  solutions  through over 140
offices and 2,350  associates in  Mississippi,  Tennessee and Florida.

Note 1- Business Combinations

     On August 29, 2003,  Trustmark acquired seven Florida branches of
     The  Banc  Corporation  of  Birmingham,  Alabama,  in a  business
     combination  accounted for by the purchase  method of accounting.
     These branches,  known as the Emerald Coast  Division,  serve the
     markets  from  Destin  to Panama  City.  In  connection  with the
     transaction,  Trustmark paid a $46.8 million  deposit  premium in
     exchange  for $232.8  million  in assets  and  $209.2  million in
     deposits  and  other  liabilities.  Assets  consisted  of  $224.3
     million in loans, $6.8 million in premises and equipment and $1.7
     million in other assets.  These assets and liabilities  have been
     recorded  at fair  value  based  on  market  conditions  and risk
     characteristics at the acquisition date. Loans were recorded at a
     $1.9  million  discount,  consisting  of a discount  for  general
     credit risk of $3.5  million  offset by a market  premium of $1.6
     million.  This net discount will be recognized as interest income
     over the estimated life of the loans.  Excess costs over tangible
     net assets acquired totaled $49.5 million,  of which $1.7 million
     and  $47.8  million  have been  allocated  to core  deposits  and
     goodwill, respectively.  Trustmark's financial statements include
     the results of operations  for this  acquisition  from the merger
     date.

Note 2- Net Interest Margin

     Trustmark's  third  quarter  interest  margin  decreased  by $4.1
     million as a result of increased premium amortization on mortgage
     related   securities  to  $7.8  million  for  the  quarter  ended
     September 30, 2003, from $3.7 million for the quarter ending June
     30, 2003.  Mortgage rates fell to historically low levels in June
     2003, prompting a significant  refinance boom across the country.
     As excess  principal pay downs occurred  during the third quarter
     on these securities,  net premium  amortization  accelerated.  As
     mortgage  rates have risen as much as 50 basis points  during the
     third  quarter,  we do not  expect  prepayments  or  net  premium
     amortization to be as significant during the fourth quarter.

Note 4 - Early Retirement Program

     In  February  2003,   Trustmark   announced  a  voluntary   early
     retirement program (ERP) for associates age 58 and above with ten
     or more  years of  service.  This  program  was  accepted  by 116
     associates,  or  4.75% of  Trustmark's  workforce.  An  after-tax
     charge of  approximately  $4.1 million,  or $0.07 per share,  was
     recognized in Trustmark's first quarter 2003 earnings. Management
     believes this  information is useful because it allows  investors
     to easily discern the impact of the ERP on Trustmark's results of
     operations and ratios, as demonstrated in the following table:

     Impairment  for mortgage  servicing  rights is  determined  using
     estimated fair values based on specific risk  characteristics  of
     the underlying mortgages.  During the quarter ended September 30,
     2003,   Trustmark  expanded  its  risk  characteristics  used  in
     evaluating mortgage servicing rights to include interest rates on
     the underlying  mortgages.  This change in estimate was necessary
     because of the recent volatile  interest rate  environment.  This
     change in estimate  reduced the  impairment  recovery  during the
     quarter ended September 30, 2003, by  approximately  $2.7 million
     before tax ($1.7 million after tax).
